How did you get into fashion?
Brenda Romair, founder of Chatta Box, hired me as the stock girl while I was in high school and I’ve never left! I’ve always been obsessed with fashion and dressing people to make them feel beautiful. It’s so rewarding.

What’s Chatta Box’s style?
On trend, but classic enough to wear for years. Our style is forward, simple and sexy.
What fashion trends are you seeing for spring?
Neutral, earthy tones and pastels; treatments such as ruffles or fringe; cropped tops with full leg trousers; tuxedo stripe meets sports; slip dresses; and tea length skirts and dresses.

Clear out wardrobes or keep clothes forever?
Clear out because it can help someone in need and it’s healthy for your wardrobe; but keep special pieces because they always come back!
